All language subtitles for 15_-_the_house_of_soul

You may call this a bribe, Inspector,
but I call it the price of freedom. I

have no idea what's in this heathen
cargo, but let it be someone else's

affliction now.

Chop-chop! Get that benighted baggage
off my ship!

Ever since we shoved off from Shanghai,
this voyage has been cursed.

Calm seas suddenly become raging storms.

Six good men pitched overboard.

Cursed, I tell you.

What have we here?

Attempting to steal what I've already
stolen?

We not steal treasure, Mr. Leland. We
bring to your estate in mourning.

These streets, Chinatown, very
dangerous.

Yes.

For you.

I surrender.

You were right.

The new speakers do make a huge
difference. Yeah, yeah. They're going to

be calling this place House of Soul
Concert Hall.

Is Johnny around?

Yeah. Do you want to go near him?

He's composing.

Oh.

Thanks for the warning. I have never met
a person more uncomposed who is

composing.

Oh, they're here.

Welcome back.

Have you had time to look over the
contracts?

Yes, I've got them right here.

So, when's Jerry Springer going to
arrive?

Jerry Springer.

Just as soon as we can make a deal. The
Jerry Springer. You know, like at the

end of the show where it's Springer's
final moment. You know that Jerry

Springer? I've got the provisions right
here. What's going on, Jessica?

Nothing major. Just your average
everyday megabucks TV deal.

Megabucks TV deal. Here.

Why? Well, the House of Soul was built
over the ruins of a 19th century temple

on a street that was leveled by the
great earthquake of 1906.

A temple, huh?

That's funny.

It doesn't look Jewish to me.

Jewish.

Chinese temple.

Lily is an antiquities professor.

Her research indicates that right below
us is the main street of what used to be

original Chinatown.

So Jerry Springer is going to do a TV
special called Remarkable Tales about

unearthing the temple. Cool.

Just as soon as we can make a deal,
Jessica. So what do you say?

I don't know.

I mean, all teasing aside, it's not
exactly a megabucks TV deal. But you

can't just look at the $5,000 location
fee. There's also the publicity the

House of Soul will get by being featured
on national TV with Jerry Springer as

host.

Will he be around a lot? Of course.

Jerry's wild about the project.

And he just loves Johnny Domino's music.

Who's Johnny Domino?

Well, he's a saxophonist, and he's a
good one.

Couldn't get Kenny G?

It doesn't matter. He's part of the
flashy background.

What's special about this special is the
untold wealth of buried ancient

treasure. Yeah, right. Tell it to
Geraldo.

But I've got documentation, Jerry.

We're looking at a 30-share huge demo.

I also figure it's a potential
seven-figure.

Prophet.

What time you say the call was?

8 a.m. tomorrow morning.

The House of Soul.

By night, home to the hippest of the Bay
City hip.

Okay, now we'll cut in some shots of
Johnny Domino and the patrons, the band,

yada, yada, yada.

Okay, and then, by day today, a portal
to the mysterious and exotic world of

ancient Chinatown.

Chinatown. like you've never seen until
now.

Okay, let me see the script.

This is really exciting.

It'll be even better when we make the
discovery.

If Jerry has any special security needs
while he's in town, just give me a call.

Frank Dominus. Okay, stand by.

Three, two, one. What are you going to
do? It's a slow month.

But first we go back to that fateful day
of April 18th, 1906.

when the face of the city was forever
changed.

Cut. Okay, then we'll throw in some of
that old earthquake stuff, and shake,

rattle, and roll, and then... Then we go
to location number two.

I want to know exactly how the
excavation is proceeding.

When they find the temple, get with me
right away, and I'll double this.

I want to get there in time to be able
to reclaim my family's property from

them, okay? Don't worry, you will.

Combinations of months of research, huh?

Years. My great-uncle told me about this
place before he died.

The famous Temple of the Sun.

Ever since, I've immersed myself in old
books, city surveys, building plans,

anything to pinpoint the exact location.

Beneath this floor, we'll discover the
street which leads to the buried

treasures of ancient Chinatown.

Jerry keeps talking about buried
treasures. I thought he was looking for

a historical Chinese monument
undercover.

Yeah, I noticed that.

I think we've got something here.

I'm hitting wood and I can feel air
coming up from underneath. Great. Now,

if we could just clear camera range and
let Jerry make the discovery.

Okay, we are nearing the end now of this
remarkable tale.

Follow me to the treasures of the Temple
of the Sun.

Hey, Jerry. Poor Jerry.

Jerry. Are you kidding me?

Jerry, are you okay?

Somebody get a ladder over here. Get the
ladder over here.

Are you guys okay down there?

You're going to kill yourself.

Oh, I'm okay. Yeah, just my leg.

Watch the first step. It's a doozy.

Alexandra, you didn't get that on
camera, did you? My fault.

Shut that off.

What's that, Jerry?

What is this?

Looks like a city all of its own,
doesn't it?

You know what?

Raleigh, I'm going to take care of it.
Can you take care of this? Sure.

I got to go.

It's nice when this thing, before it
swells.

This is incredible.

We found it.

According to my research, this is part
of the street where the temple stood.

Do you know what that means?

That the treasure is ours.

What treasure?

Didn't I mention it?

No, you seem to have overlooked that
small detail.

It seemed like such a long shot at the
time. Time to pay off that long shot,

Lily. All right.

According to my research...

There may well be a treasure trove of
Chinese antiquity down here somewhere.

They were stolen from Beijing in 1906
and shipped over here right before the

earthquake hit. They're rumored to be
hidden in the Temple of the Sun.

Can you spell renegotiation, Miss
Tremaine?

I don't think so, Jessica. In the
contract, paragraph 15, subsection E is

what I like to refer to as the treasure
clause.

Raleigh. What do I do here?

I think that maybe we should talk to
Johnny.

What does a saxophone player have to do
with a fortune in buried treasure? I

don't know. I mean, but he has a way of
keeping people honest.

He knows what they're really up to.

He's a musician.

He cuts a record and he could be a
millionaire overnight.

Me? I'm a poor businesswoman, eking out
a living.

This may be my only chance ever to
strike it rich.

If we drag Johnny into this, he might
think that he's entitled to a cut.

Point.

But if that lady's right, you're
entitled to nothing.

I know. However, I may have a way back
end for us.

Us? Engineers don't give me any chances
to strike a rich either, Jessica.

How much? Fifty-fifty. Fifty-fifty? A
hundred percent. Nothing. Yes, nothing.

Right now, you are entitled to nothing.

All right.

50-50.

But only if your idea works.

It's going to work.

Okay,

everybody out.

What?

What are you talking about? We have a
contract.

It's ironclad.

I'm sorry, but your excavation has
already caused one potentially serious

accident. Now, Jessica clearly has a
right to shut down this operation until

it's made safe.

That way she won't be held liable.

All right, ladies. This show is canceled
until further notice.

Everyone, out.

Wait, wait, wait. I don't really believe
you have the right to do this.

You heard the lady.

Out. Out.

You think you can override my treasure
clause by denying me access? I would be

willing to bet that your treasure clause
only kicks in if you find the treasure

first. However, this building belongs to
Jeffrey.

Well, keep in mind that it's just the
building that's yours.

Let's go.

Wow.

Thank you.

That was slick.

No problem.

Pardon.

Now, we've got to figure out how to get
to the treasure first without letting

the whole world in on it.

Hey, guys, you don't intend to leave
that fortune and buried

treasure down there unsecured, do you?

Frank, what are you talking about?

I'm talking about the treasure I just
heard that construction guy telling

somebody about on the phone in the men's
room.

Who knows who that guy down there was
talking to on the other end of that

phone?

The plans on Phi Alpha City show that
this basement is 15 feet lower than the

one next door.

So that should put it at the same level
as the old street.

That's about it.

It's the same basic distance from the
street as the area we uncovered today.

You break through that wall, you're in
old Chinatown.

Get the speed drills.

Okay, boss.

Frank, there is no treasure.

At least not yet, anyway.

Uh-huh. Well, I just thought that maybe
you might want to hire a security expert

to secure access to that non-treasure
from unwanted intruders.

For how much?

Well, there's three of us. How about a
third?

A third?

Yeah. Just for security?

Have you ever been around anybody who
got treasure fever?

No.

They become animals. They turn on their
own loved ones. It isn't pretty.

No, I'll see to it that no one.

comes near our treasure.

Can I help you?

Oh, well, no.

Well, we just spoke to meet Miss Rogers
about a TV show here at the House of

Soul, and we can't find her.

What TV show is that?

A Jerry Springer special.

I'm surprised she didn't mention it to
you because you're supposed to be on it.

Oh.

Follow me to the treasures of the Temple
of the Sun.

Yeah.

Jessie's all business.

She said she was going to be here.
She'll be here.

Okay, well, thanks. Appreciate it. Sure,
sure.

There may well be a treasure trove of
Chinese antiquities down here somewhere.

Are you sure that this is going to work?

Of course, this is going to work.

Whoops, no panic. I'm sorry, I'll find
it.

What are you doing here? My job.

You hired me to protect this place,
didn't you?

You remember?

Your job, huh?

Since when is the metal detector your
weapon of choice?

How can I protect something if I don't
know where it is? Besides, what is that?

Security system.

That's funny.

Looks just like that x-ray setup the
archaeologists used to discover the

hidden chambers of King Tut in the
pyramids.

See, you're not the only ones who watch
the History Channel.

We're all here for the same reason, to
find the treasure, if there is one. I

can't believe that you're trying to cut
me off.

We weren't.

Exactly.

Time is everything.

If word of this treasure were to leak
out... Ah, don't even think like that.

I just had a horrible thought.

What if Lily's calculations were just a
little bit off, and the good stuff was

under the building next door?

we have come to reclaim is inside
somewhere.

Let's go in and take it. Not yet.

Chinese people have waited almost 100
years for their treasure.

We can wait a little while longer.

Whoa.

Hey, what is this?

What is it?

Looks like an old carriage.

I see that.

What's inside?

Who's inside?

Hey, let me see that.

In the light. It's just an old horse
blog.

Somebody should look inside.

You mean me?

Uh-huh. Yeah.

Oh, getting close.

Jerry and Alexander might pay some big
bucks for this.

Cool, cool, cool.

You rolling?

Mm-hmm.

What was what?

Nothing. Nothing. I just saw weird
shadows or something.

Molly, would you get a grip?

Nothing, dear.

Listen, we can't find Jessica.

Wait a minute. I think I found her.

Hey, where are you going?

Where have you been?

We found something down there.

A skeleton. A skeleton? What skeleton?

The skeleton that Frank was dancing
with.

Well, I'll tell you about it. I'm going
to grab something.

Thank you. Thank

you very much. We'll be back in a
second.

Where was this skeleton?

In the carriage.

What carriage?

The one that... Never mind.

You know, I'm beginning to think that
this whole treasure thing is a curse.

Curses equals ratings.

You know, you're acting awfully strange.

You know, I think that she knows
something that we don't. All right.

There is a rumor of a curse.

But as a person of science, I didn't
think it was worth mentioning.

Fine. A treasure?

A curse? We could be talking networks.

Weep show here. Did you mention
something about a renegotiation?

Why do we need you?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait, no, Jessica.

Now, that contract that you signed may
not hold up under court of law, but then

again, you never know.

And? And I know.

A hundred percent of nothing is nothing.
All right.

But after this, no more partners. We
tell no one else.

Private party? Can anyone join in?

Will someone die?

What on earth are you talking about?
That's right. That's right. What? People

can't stand around and have a good time
without you being a center of attention

or something? What?

Oh, wow.

Okay. I guess this party isn't having
that much fun.

Good luck trying to find your treasure.

I told you not to tell anybody. I didn't
say anything to him, Jessica.

Then who did?

What?

What's on your mind, kid?

Wondering about treasure and how it
affects people.

Do you remember that old movie with
Humphrey Bogart?

Yeah, yeah, The Treasure of Sierra
Madre. Yeah.

Desire for gold.

Drove most men crazy.

Yeah, well, you know, it's funny what
the mayor mentioned of priceless

artifacts will do to some people.

I got to go. I got to go wrap up some of
the sound equipment.

Let me know if you see anything on that
monitor.

What?

That monitor you got.

That's funny.

You're funny. Funny.

Where's Mr. Skelton?

I swear to you, Jay, it was right here.

That's it.

The J-L.

J-J-what?

J-L. This carriage belonged to Jonathan
Leland.

What is going on here?

Who is Jonathan Leland?

I'm Jonathan Leland.

The fourth, that is. Where did you come
from?

My building next door.

Altman owns the building next door.

Not anymore.

Wait a minute.

Who's Jonathan Leland I? The baron who
stole the treasure in 1906.

Didn't I tell you that? No.

Sorry. Anyway, Leland stole the treasure
originally. That's not true. He bought

the treasure from the thieves who stole
it from the museum in Beijing.

How do you know all this?

Scholarly research, Miss Lou.

Who do you think anonymously funded it
in the first place?

Or didn't she really want to know where
that money was coming from?

For you.

What's this?

A court order enjoining you to cease and
desist from any treasure hunting until I

can... Until you can steal it.

Until I can recover the bones of my
great-grandfather and give them a decent

burial. What do you think those bones
are, anyway?

I bet they didn't walk out of here.

Mr. Leland?

This is my property, and I'm going to
get my own court order.

Fine. We can have our respective lawyers
battle this out for the next 20 years,

or we can come to some sort of mutual
agreement.

Wait a minute. No, we have an
arrangement with her. He can't do that.

Yes, he can. 20 years legal fees?

That's a real treasure hunt.

Jessica? Dominic? What the hell?

This place is sealed off, you know.
Nobody's supposed to be down here.

You think I'd simply let the remains of
my great-grandfather rot down here, did

you? You're a little late, aren't you?

Look. All I want to do is retrieve the
bones for decent burial.

Be in and out fast. Look, dude.

We have a little something for you.

What do you think you're doing?

We find the sword quite tan.

The rest of the treasure is ours.

What's the matter?

Don't punch me.

Come on back here and I'll keep you.

Good boy.

Come on, let's go. There's some huge
thing down that road. Frank, Frank, calm

down. Get a grip, okay? Now, what kind
of thing?

I don't know, man. It's tall. It's got
glowing eyes. I tell you, a skeleton is

one thing, but this ain't for real.
Yeah, of course, man. I'm right behind

you. Let's go.

Scaredy cat.

All right.

Come on out, Johnny.

Come on out.

I shouldn't have went up to the log. You
read my thoughts.

Decided to get even with us.

Maybe we're getting a little greedy, but
I'll tell you what.

I'll cut you in for a little piece of it
if you come on out.

Come on out, Johnny.

Get the hell out of your den. Come on.

Come on, Johnny.

Please, please, tell me that that is
you.

Roy! Roy!

Johnny, there's something down.

Here.

Tell me I didn't see what I just saw.

Didn't I mention that there was a ghost
associated with this curse?

No. No.

No. No.

The legendary 5th century warrior, Kwai
Chan, allegedly guarded the treasure.

Now. No enlightened modern person would
believe such an absurdity.

Besides, I didn't want to scare anybody.

You didn't have to.

Well, there was no ghost who gave me
this bump on the head, I know that.

It was that Leland punk.

I still didn't explain the big guy in
the armor.

Well, I've got a theory.

Maybe Leland hired a goon to dress up
like this ghost warrior, scare everybody

off so that he could find the treasure,
except it backfired on him when Frank

busted him. So then...

Leland pretended to run from the ghost
warrior to make it look good. I saw that

one on Scooby-Doo.

Or there really is a ghost warrior who
will kill anyone who tries to steal a

treasure. Yeah, right.

What do you think, Johnny?

I think there's only one

way to find out the truth.

And why do I get the feeling that you're
not going to share it with me?

It's time for my next set.

Catch you guys later.

Excuse me.

John.

I know what you're thinking. It's time
for nightmare.

Do you think that it's wise for a man to
show up with all these cameras around

him?

He might not have a choice.

I'm not so sure it's a wise idea to be
going back down there again.

But, Jerry, think of the elements. A
treasure, a curse, a ghost.

Your point? Every TV in the country will
be tuned in.

You could go down there alone with just
Javier. You know, guerrilla journalism,

it's all the rage.

What about the restraining order?

When has anything ever restrained Jerry
Springer?

We're going to get in and get out,
Javier.

Find the treasure while Alexander stalls
them upstairs.

Who knows, maybe we'll run into a ghost
or two, huh?

What? I'm only kidding.

It's only a joke.

We need something to draw him out. Help!
Help the monster! He's got Jerry!

Go. Go. Go.

Did you hear?

We've got to save Jerry!

He's a celebrity!

Hold on now. We're going to take care of
this, all right? I'm going to handle

this, all right?

Easy, you're going to be all right. Oh,
it was as big as... Shaq on steroids.

Right. Yeah, man.

You get bummed around, it's good that
you got so much hair up there. Yeah.

That's not a piece, is it?

No.

I've been banged around this much since
you did that Feuding Trailer Park show.

Oh, I saw that.

Oh, yeah.

Wait, I'm on your side.

Let me help you together.

We can get your treasure back

What that was, some kind of a labrador.

How do you know? How do I know this
isn't some kind of a setup?

That is a setup.

Jonathan Leland IV.

Great news.

I found the sword.

It points towards the temple ruins, just
like my great-uncle's.

And at last, the treasure is ours.

There is one little problem, though.

Koichan.

Don't tell me about the ghost warrior.

We have no time for superstitions.

And we've already begun dealing with the
real enemies of our people.

before it could stay away from the
train, huh?

The ghost nailed him.

Although I pity the guy who tried to
tell that theory to his new dad.

I don't know.

I really didn't get that sort of vibe
from that ghost.

Whatever it is.

No, this is different, Alexandra.

The risks are just too great. But,
Jared, this could be the first 90 share

in television history.

We're talking not just a show. We're
talking a series. I know it's a

miniseries. We've heard it all the time.

What? Don't forget.

that you survived the death battle with
the ghost warrior.

I did, didn't I? Yeah. So what do you
say, boss?

Sorry to break up this little seance,
but I'm yellow taping that hole up

there, which means I need everybody out
of here now, okay?

Hey, Charlie, come here, my boy. Well,
now what?

Well, it's simple. What?

You said no one through that hole, but
you didn't say anything about going

through the hole next door.

That's why I pay you the big bucks.

See, the sword points in the direction
of the temple.

It's amazing.

Well done.

Congratulations, Conrad Liu.

You're a great patriot.

I'm just happy that we can return this
treasure back to the people of China.

But of course.

Hurry and pack this up.

We must get to the ship before dawn.

She was right.

There really is a treasure and Little
Scholar is stealing it. I never did

trust her.

Do you know what this means if we can
capture this on tape?

TV immortality.

You follow them. I'll go get Javier and
bring the truck.

Okay, I'll stay with him and give you
directions on the cell phone.

We're making a right now. Making a right
on Madison.

A right on Madison.

Right, right, right. I recognize this.
Right. Make it right.

Okay, you make a left on Borden. Left on
Morton?

No, not more. Borden, Borden, like the
milk, whatever.

They're getting near the docks now. I
can see they're getting near the docks.

They're turning left on Callaway, left
on Callaway, towards the docks. Can you

hear me?

Okay, I'm going to be hiding down there.
Here's the phone. Tell Alexander and

Javier to hurry up. I want to get this
whole thing on tape. Got it?

Hurry.

Finally. Because the great Pai Chan can
be at peace.

It's a shame, though. It's necessary, I
suppose, that he had to kill Leland.

The ancestor of a thief is still a
thief.

Unbelievable.

You?

Who are you?

A friend.

Interested in saving your treasure.

But we are returning the treasure to its
rightful place.

It's true, yes.

This man's not taking the treasure to
Beijing.

He's selling it in Hong Kong.

He's the one that killed Leland.

A kingdom for a camera.

Someone's going to believe this.

I'd say it's time you start telling the
truth.

It's true.

And so what?

I'm one of the new breed of Chinese
capitalism.

You heard?

There's no more future in patriotism.

Nor treachery either.

Get them!

Now he's taking bullets.

Get out of here!

I've never seen anything like this in my
life.

We could have this on camera.

If they don't give you their history.

I see the dots. I see them right there.
They're right there. Pull up over there

on the left. Okay.

You'll never get away with this.

Your degree's not going to help you now,
Lily.

You're on my way out of here.

Let's go for a ride.

No.

No.

Please. Now that is dying fly.

Don't stop me.

Yes.

Where's the damn camera?

Well, if I don't need them, let's go
this way.

A ghost ship.

Oh, Jesus.

The treasure. They've at last.

Thank you, friend.

Nightman, we'll be right back.

Sorry.

We must have made a wrong turn.

Oh, it's okay.

It's all right.

Did we miss anything?

Did you miss anything?

No.

No, I told you. There was no story.

Yeah,

good job, boy. Yeah.

Now the treasure will finally find its
way back home.

The treasure and its guardian.

Hey,

Kerry.

If you're ever about this way again, you
know, you might need a little security.

Give me a call.

You don't need to be careful, you know.

What's wrong with Jerry?

I don't know.

I don't feel like they're so quiet.
